Not having proper PPE, is not just about you. It is about every person you come in contact with, after you have treated a patient with COVID. The idea that age will protect you, is your prerogative, but consider the 37 Dr.s in Italy, who died, or the 40 year old nurse in New York. You will carry the virus for days to weeks, without knowing, and I doubt that everyone you come in contact with will have age on their side. But as I said, PPE is not just about YOU.
